Definitions
- the invention relates to a liquid-filled electrical machine which is designed as a submersible motor, in particular for driving fully submersible work machines, a motor filling liquid of low viscosity 5 used for cooling and lubrication purposes being arranged in the motor interior, the motor being designed for medium and large drive powers and the motor fill fluid flows through the gap between the rotor and stator parts.
- the air gap between the stator and the rotor caused by the friction causes a power loss that can be greater than 30% of the total power loss of the machine.
- This power loss o in turn acts as an additional heat source for the adjacent rotor or
- the additional heat input due to the friction losses means additional heating of the stator winding or a reduction in the service life.
- Such wet and canned motors are designed to be disproportionately long in relation to the outer diameter, as is shown, for example, by GB-A-983 643.
- a pump device is used to circulate an oil used as a lubricant and coolant.
- the auxiliary flow flowing completely through the rotor shaft and being split up when it flows back.
- Part of the auxiliary flow passes through cooling channels between the rotor shaft and the rotor.
- Another part flows back through the air gap between the rotor and stator. Due to the high viscosity of the oil used and the low thermal capacity of the oil with larger drive loads, this type of construction cannot ensure that the power loss is adequately removed.
- Oil viscosity high friction losses in the air gap In the event of irregularities in the cooling system, local overheating in the area of the air gap can then occur, which in the worst case lead to the failure of the machine.
- Canned motor use the rotor space of which is designed to be dry, a split tube causing a separation between the dry rotor space and the wet stator space.
- stator in the stator slots is equipped with liquid-carrying slot closure elements.
- An oil serving as a coolant circulates through these slot closure elements and transports the waste heat out of the winding area of the stator.
- a flow deflection takes place in the area of a winding head and the heated oil flows through grooves arranged on the outer circumference of the stator between the housing wall and the stator back to the other end winding.
- Additional cooling devices can lower the absolute temperature of a stator or a cooling medium, but they do not change the temperature profile within a stator. If you look at the temperature profile within a stator and refer to the stator length or the stator circumference, then there is a specific profile for each machine. In the case of the generic machines with high drive power, the windings are additionally endangered by unfavorable temperature profiles. With the aid of the known cooling devices, a temperature curve is lowered, but its shape is not changed. Adverse temperature peaks, which in unfavorable cases can pose a risk to the winding, remain at a lower level. Due to unfavorable operating conditions or external influences, these temperature peaks can assume values that pose a danger to the winding.
- the invention is therefore based on the problem of protecting the motor from failure in the generic machines and optimizing the heat distribution within the stator.
- the solution to this problem provides that motors with a Taylor number Ta> 10 4 are provided with cooling tubes in the stator grooves and the motor filling liquid in the gap between the rotor and stator and in the cooling tubes runs in the same direction.
- a cooling tube can be arranged in each stator slot, as well as only in some of the possible stator slots.
- water, water mixtures or a liquid whose viscosity is comparable to that of water is used as the engine filling liquid.
- This also includes filling liquids that contain antifreeze in the form of polyhydric alcohols or similar substances, so that the machine can be operated or stored even at temperatures below freezing.
- One embodiment of the invention further provides that winding wires with different insulation thicknesses are used within the stator groove, the winding wires closest to the gap having a thicker or thicker insulation than the winding wires close to the slot base of a stator slot.
- the stator teeth heated by the friction losses within the gap have the highest temperature in the area of the gap, which decreases towards the cool outside area of the stator.
- a stronger insulation of the winding wires in the area of the cooling tubes and thus in the area of the hotter stator teeth enables better protection of the winding.
- the stronger insulation also reduces the risk of so-called "water trees ".
- Such water trees increasingly form on plastic-insulated winding wires (for example with vPE), which are exposed to a temperature gradient.
- the cooling tubes are designed as liquid-guiding groove sealing rods which are known per se. This measure is known for canned motors in order to be able to conduct a cooling medium through the stator at all. However, they only serve there to create a path for a coolant. An existing flow cross-section is therefore not additionally enlarged.
- the further embodiments of the subclaims serve to secure the position of the winding within a stator slot in order to exclude mechanical movements of the winding wires due to motor loads.
- Fig. 1 shows a section through an engine
- Fig. 2 as a section a section through a stator core with winding
- Fig. 3 rotor, stator with air gap.
- FIG. 1 shows an underwater motor 1, the housing 2 of which has a stator 3 composed of individual sheet metal laminations. Coils 4 are located in the stator 3, by means of which the rotating electrical field is transmitted to a rotor 5.
- the rotor 5 is supported in bearings 6, 7.
- An engine interior 8 is completely filled with engine fill fluid, the viscosity of which is comparable to the viscosity of water.
- the engine fill fluid can be pure water, she can also be water with various additives, e.g. B. higher alcohols.
- the engine is very long, which is why, for reasons of illustration, a shortened rendering was made with the help of broken lines.
- thermosiphon flow will form during operation, ie the motor filling liquid will flow from bottom to top due to a temperature stratification.
- cooling tubes 10 which are arranged in the area of the stator slots (not visible here) and in the immediate vicinity of the air gap 9, a larger amount of the engine filling liquid can flow through the air gap 9 and through the cooling tubes 10. This measure makes it possible to considerably even out the temperature distribution along the motor axis.
- the diameter / width ratio is on the order of 3: 1 to 10: 1.
- the unfavorable heat concentration that has hitherto occurred in such long machines due to temperature stratification in the area of the upper half of the motor can thus be effectively prevented.
- the engine filling liquid emerging from the air gap 9 and the cooling tubes 10 in the upper engine area can enter through openings 11 into a cooling jacket 12 which concentrically surrounds the engine housing 2.
- a cooling jacket 12 which concentrically surrounds the engine housing 2.
- On the outside of the cooling jacket there is usually pumped medium in which the motor 1 is immersed and which ensures effective recooling of the motor filling liquid.
- the pumped medium flows back into the motor interior 8 and at the same time lubricates a bearing 6 designed as an axial bearing.
- any other known device can also be used for cooling the engine filling liquid.
- the invention is therefore not limited to the jacket 12 shown here. It is also readily possible to provide a conveying device in the area of the bearings 6 or 7 on the motor shaft, with the aid of which a forced circulation of the motor filling fluid within the Engine interior 8 can take place. This is shown schematically below the bearing 6.
- FIG. 2 shows a section of the stator 3 and the structure of the winding 14 located therein and consisting of a large number of wires.
- the winding is inserted into stator slots 15; Within the stator slots 15, windings 14 are held in position by slot filler bars 16.
- a cooling tube 10 here also takes on the task of a slot lock rod.
- the cooling tube 10 can have any desired cross-sectional shape that can be installed in the groove 15. Due to the use of cooling tubes 10, the
- Flow cross-section in the area of the air gap 9 can be increased by over 50% without the electrical power being adversely affected in any way.
- the motor filling fluid then flows quasi parallel through the cooling tubes 10 and the air gap 9.
- the friction losses occurring in the air gap 9 between the stator 3 and the rotor 5 and the resulting heating of the stator 3 can be carried out with the aid of the cooling tubes 10 in which increase the flow cross section be compensated for in a simple and effective manner.
- the groove filler rods 16 can be formed in one or two parts and their position can be in the present drawing above or below or on both sides of the cooling tube 10. The use of a slot filler rod 16 made of swellable material has proven to be advantageous, which swells under the influence of the motor filler liquid and exerts a position-securing function on the winding 14.
